actually... only $99 as an educational customer.
It works very well - of course you should have some a fast processor and a
healthy amount of RAM.
You can run a variety of *guest* operating systems - I've tried Win98,
FreeBSD, and Linux.
You should be able to get your sound, networking, and video working well...
if it works under Linux.
just for trivia - the computer science department at the university here
runs Linux on Linux... so we can have root access, etc... for an operating
systems class - without harming a *real* installation.

Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 20:58:16 GMT
Previously I was using RedHat 6.2 and Windows 98 on my system, and I
was able to run XWindows and Windows 98. Now I reinstalled every thing
on my system. When I installed RedHat, I had to do it in text mode
otherwise the system will just hang up. So after installing it, I
configured XWindows, but still was unable to run it. The system just
hangs there after displaying the usual text mesages and then the screen
goes blank. I cannot use CTL+ALT+DEL or CTL+ALT+BKSPC to exit Linux or
XWindows. One other thing that I noticed was that Windows 98 detected
the display card as standard PCI VGA, but when I installed the Matrox
display drivers, it worked fine.
So what could be wrong here.

Actually I find the tragedy of the Kursk to be an extreme horror of the
consequences of war. Though actual war was not the direct cause of it's
sinking it was a vessel of war none the less.
I also find the movie "The Day After" which tells of the tragedy of the
consequences of war. But I also respect the fact that if a nuclear war
were to ever be as severe as in the movie we won't have to worry about
what to fight World War IV with.
Sticks and stones will be plentiful if we are still here to fight.

Actually, it's not. the errno.h in /usr/include/bits, is trying
to find <linux/errno.h>, which should be in /usr/include/linux, which
should be a symbolic link to SOURCEDIR/linux/include (where SOURCEDIR is
the path to where you unpacked the kernel souce).
Easiest way to solve this problem: download the kernel source
from ftp.xx.kernel.org (where xx is your 2-letter country code), and
unpack it, followed by make mrproper, and make config. (you will need
make config, to have <linux/autoconf.h> created.)

Subject: SCSI bootup problems under RH 6.2?
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 23:40:48 GMT
Has anyone had problems booting RH 6.2 off of a SCSI HD
when you have IDE masters installed as well?
I have 2 IDE drives and 1 SCSI.
I've installed RH6.2 on /dev/hda1 and Win98 on /dev/sda1.
I've also configured LILO to boot both linux and windows
I had a problem whereby when I tried to boot windows from LILO
I was getting a "Invalid System Disk" error. I then tried putting
win98 on /dev/hda3 (another partition on the same drive as linux)
and booting from that partition using LILO works fine.
The only thing I can think of as to why win98 won't boot off of the
SCSI drive is because its not initialized (or recognized) at the LILO
prompt? (and yes I have tried all the configurations of LILO)
Is this true?
Thanks

That is because you're sending raw, uninterpreted data to an audio
output device. It's like trying to view an MPEG movie with a text
editor. :-)
The reason that you're not hearing anything with kmidi is because there
are no instrument samples loaded. You need to download and install a
set of midi instrument patches.
Open the kmidi 'preferences' dialog and select 'help'
I downloaded a 10 Meg set called "goemon" from
http://www.anime.net/~goemon/timidity/ yesterday, and
installed it in /usr/share/apps/kmidi/config/. I then edited
'goemon.cfg' so kmidi can locate the "goemon" directory
containing the instrument patches.
kmidi has to be given the location of the .cfg file. I entered the
command "kmidi -c /usr/share/apps/kmidi/config/goemon.cfg"
That worked. There is a file called kmidirc which contains setup
information for kmidi, but I found NO documentation for it. Typical...
Tony.

That is not true. You can use for example the aic7x module with an
initial ramdisk (you have to mkinitrd and specify it in lilo.conf) and
then boot up the system through a aic7x based controller without hassle.
RedHat uses this as standard on (all?) their distros.
For myself I do not see advantages in this behaviour so I use compiled
in support also, but this is a question of gusto.

Michael

Thanks very much for your kernel/module suggestion. It certainly seems like a
promising path to a solution in that my /var/log/messages file does mention
some kernel errors. A uname -r gives me a kernel version of 2.2.15-4mdk in
Mandrake 7.1, so I downloaded the mdm2215 & mdm2216 from linnix.com just to be
safe. Of the 3 files in there, I used pct7890.o. This decision was based on
the info from /proc/pci & Win98 & the chip on the board (so I'm sure that I've
got the right one).
Now I suspect this is the point where ignorance sets in. I tried a simple
insmod pct7890.o and got a kernel mismatch (2.215 vs. 2.215-4mdk) so then I
tried insmod -f pct7890.o and got the following
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol __global_cli
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol tqueue_lock
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol __global_save_flags
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol waitqueue_lock
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol __global_restore_flags
pct7890.o: unresolved symbol __global_sti
I really have no idea where to go with this, but it looks like the system
isn't accepting the module. In fact it doesn't show up with an lsmod. Was I
ignorant to think that a simple insmod would get this module loaded? What
else do I need to do prior to loading it? The pctel.o module that I was using
previously (which is no longer being loaded BTW, to avoid possibly banging
into the new module) used /dev/ttyS15 linked to /dev/modem. Do I need to set
up a different serial port?
Interesting notes: My RedHat 6.0 partition on the same machine (where
everything works fine with pctel.o) uses a kernel version of 2.2.15. How big
of a step up would it really be to 2.2.15-4? Is not a kernel a kernel
regardless of the distribution as long as the versions match? In an act of
desparation, I tried inserting the other drivers. pct0211.o gave me the same
errors as pct7890.o. ltmodem.o (for Lucent modems I suppose) actually loaded,
but I believe from previous reading that this module uses /dev/ttyS14 (vs.
/dev/ttyS15). I didn't attempt to try connecting with this driver (I suspect
it would be a waste of time). There seems to be no change when I moved up to
the 2.2.16 modules. Should I attempt a lower version?
Any ideas on how to resolve these "unresolved sysmbols"?
Thanks

I run Windows 98 in a window on my desktop using a great inexpensive
program call Win4Lin. It works as advertised. I believe it will run NT
as well.

I would say that the driver loading is fine, then. Whether or not it is
a module, it looks like it is loaded. This is also supported by the
fact that the drive used to work. That is, unless you are running with
a different kernel than you used to have.

I should have mentioned looking at "ls -l /dev/hdd" also. Maybe it's a
permission problem.
Does it act the same whether you are "root" or a standard user when you
do the mount command?
The only other thing I can think of is if for some reason it is confused
about one of the mount parameters. What does the line in /dev/fstab
look like? Have you tried mounting with something like "mount -t
iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom" ? Have you tried playing a music CD, to
see if the drive is active that way?
There still could be a problem with modules and such, but I'm not sure I
could help with that without some research, because I'm not currently
using IDE drivers for my CD-ROMs. Maybe you could post the results of
"lsmod", but I don't know off the top of my head what the IDE CDROM
module(s) are called.
